The total mechanical energy of the ball is the sum of its potential energy U and its kinetic energy K, therefore:
E=U+K=57 J+61 J=118 J
so, the total mechanical energy of the basketball is 118 J.

A lamp draws a current of 0.50 A when it is connected to a 120 V source? What is the resistance of the lamp?
emmainna [20.7K]
Given,
Current (I) = 0.50A
Voltage (V) = 120 volts
Resistance (R) =?
We know that:-
Voltage (V) = Current (I) x Resistance (R)
→Resistance (R) = Voltage (V) / Current (I)
= 120/0.50
= 24Ω
∴ Resistance (R) = 24Ω

A bowling ball with a mass of 9kg is thrown down a lane with a constant speed of 3 m/s. The ball hits the 1.5kg pin, initially a
olasank [31]

Answer:

M1 V1 = M1 V2 + M2 V3    conservation of momentum

V2 = (M1 V1 - M2 V3) / M1      where V2 = speed of M1 after impact

V2 = (3 * 9 - 1.5 * 5) / 9  =   (27 - 7.5) / 9 = 2.17 m/s

Note: All speeds are in the same direction and have the same sign

Describe each of Newton’s Laws of Motion in ice skating. What can you design/develop to improve ice skating?
denis23 [38]

Newton's three laws of motion can be used to describe the motion of the ice skating.

<h3>Newton's first law of motion</h3>

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest or uniform motion in a straight line will continue in that state unless it is acted upon by an external force.

  • Based on this law, once the ice skating starts, it will continue endlessly unless external force stops it.

<h3>Newton's second law of motion</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states that the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of an object.

  • Based on this law, the force applied to the ice skating is equal to the product of mass and acceleration of the ice skating.

<h3>Newton's third law of motion</h3>

This law states that action and reaction are equal and opposite.

  • Based on this law, the force applied to the ice skating is equal in magnitude to the reaction of ice.
